> Because, surprise-surprise, businesses are not charities. They do need to earn money. And? > Of course users want all the perks with none of the responsibilities: let the business support all these items in perpetuity while users trade them outside of the business' purview. Everyone would like all the benefits with no cost in all cases; that's not what's being suggested as its obviously impossible. The more decentralized service simply has the potential to be a better deal for users at the cost of centralized business - it does not mean costs disappear. You say yourself the business need to earn money (which is only true for sub profit margins), so you seem to understand that the money goes somewhere, why not let it go more to users willing to shoulder some cost while also giving them more freedom?
